Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup salted butter softened (1 1/2 sticks)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup dulce de leche

Instructions

  • Using a stand or hand-held mixer, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed for 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until just incorporated. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Shape dough into two disks and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4-inch thickness. Using 2-inch round cookie cutters, cut the dough into circles. Place on prepared baking sheets. Roll out excess dough and repeat process.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, or until cooked through in centers. Let cool. Sandwich dulce de leche between 2 cookies (use between 1/2 and 1 teaspoon for each cookie sandwich, depending on how runny the sauce is). Repeat process and refrigerate cookies until ready to serve!

Notes

  • If you do not have access to dulce de leche, consider sandwiching the cookies with a thick caramel sauce or jam or jelly.
  • Refrigerating the dough is a necessary step in the process of making these cookies.
  • Since the batter is dark, it is difficult to determine whether or not they are browning around the edges. Keep a close eye so the cookies don't burn!
